    Notes: We have used nanoindentation to measure the mechanical properties of epitaxial TiN/(V0.6Nb0.4)N superlattices, grown on MgO(100), as a function of the wavelength λ. The V/Nb ratio within the VNbN layers was chosen to provide a lattice match with TiN, minimizing effects resulting from coherency strains. For λ≥4 nm, the hardness was found to be significantly enhanced relative to a homogeneous reference film of the same average composition. For λ〈4 nm, the hardness decreased to a value close to that of the reference film. The elastic modulus was found to be constant for λ≥4nm, at a value close to that predicted by the law of mixtures. For samples with λ=2.3 and 2.8 nm, there was a 15% decrease in modulus. The observed variations appear not to be an effect of interfacial strain. Possible mechanisms are discussed.

    Notes: We have investigated the fabrication of thin-film superconductors by Cu-ion implantation into initially Cu-deficient Y(BaF2)Cu thin films. The precursor films were co-evaporated on SrTiO3 substrates, and subsequently implanted to various doses with 400 keV 63Cu2+. Implantations were performed at both LN2 temperature, and at 380 °C. The films were post-annealed in oxygen, and characterized as a function of dose by four-point probe analysis, x-ray diffraction, ion-beam backscattering and channeling, and scanning electron microscopy. It was found that a significant improvement in film quality could be achieved by heating the films to 380 °C during the implantation. The best films made became fully superconducting at 60–70 K, and exhibited good metallic R vs T behavior in the normal state.

    Notes: The purpose of this study was to identify and correlate the microstructural and luminescence properties of europium-doped Y2O3 (Y1–xEux)2O3 thin films deposited by metallorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), as a function of deposition time and temperature. The influence of deposition parameters on the crystallite size and microstructural morphology were examined, as well as the influence of these parameters on the photoluminescence emission spectra. (Y1–xEux)2O3 thin films were deposited onto (111) silicon and (001) sapphire substrates by MOCVD. The films were grown by reacting yttrium and europium tris(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl–3,5-heptanedionate) precursors with an oxygen atmosphere at low pressures (5 torr (1.7 × 103 Pa)) and low substrate temperatures (500°–700°C). The films deposited at 500°C were smooth and composed of nanocrystalline regions of cubic Y2O3, grown in a textured [100] or [110] orientation to the substrate surface. Films deposited at 600°C developed, with increasing deposition time, from a flat, nanocrystalline morphology into a platelike growth morphology with [111] orientation. Monoclinic (Y1–xEux)2O3 was observed in the photoluminescence emission spectra for all deposition temperatures. The increase in photoluminescence emission intensity with increasing postdeposition annealing temperature was attributed to the surface/grain boundary area-reduction effect.

    Notes: Purpose - To develop a decision framework for the planning and development of a flexible manufacturing system (FMS). Design/methodology/approach - A systematic weighted property index approach for FMS development decisions is developed to evaluate various design options. This methodology converts design property values of differing orders of magnitude into a unitless system where an overall evaluation of the options can be made. Findings - Major design choices related to the implementation of an educational FMS are identified, and considerations affecting each choice are discussed. A methodology for the selection of the appropriate FMS is then developed and demonstrated. Practical implications - Provides a useful framework for evaluating various options in FMS development and selecting an appropriate system for a given environment and situation. Originality/value - Identifies the major design choices related to the implementation of an educational FMS, provides practical examples taken from the development of FMSs at Southwest Missouri State University and the University of Missouri-Rolla, and presents a systematic methodology for FMS design decision making.

    Notes: Hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) of degree of substitution three and average molecular weight of 100,000 was processed in a magnetic field of 1.2T. Films of HPC were cast from water, methanol, ethyl methyl ketone, and 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane solutions in a magnetic field using static and dynamic casting techniques. The processed films were evaluated for tensile strength, elastic modulus, microhardness, and molecular chain alignment by wide angle x-ray diffraction and polarized infrared. The best alignment and hence the greatest improvement in properties was obtained using a combined magnetic field and flow alignment procedure. These samples showed no increase in the elastic modulus, a 106% increase in the tensile strength, a 21% increase in the microhardness, and were dichroic. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.This article is a US Government work and, as such, is in the public domain in the United States of America.
